Team,
The new text should be an update to GLEP39. Then we all know where to
find it. If its a newly invented form of document it will be lost.
The revised GLEP39 should explicitly state that it can be amended by
some vote or another of the council ... probably unamimous. After all,
we can vote them out in 11 months time or less.
The reality is that if the council did something many devs disagreed
with they would make their collective voices heard and the decision
would be tempered or reversed.
If the idea of the council voting to change GLEP39 does not appeal,
several options can be added the the referendum that it sounds like we
will be having.
